The environment and the problems due to its ailing condition are a concern for all of us in one way or the others. Therefore, we should not only gear up to contribute to its betterment but should also be equally aware of all that has happened so far. Although many efforts have been made to spread awareness in this direction, author Arnab Basu’s latest book, “The Journey through Holocene: National and Global situation of sustainability in this decade (2010-2020),” offers readers a thought-provoking and insightful narrative on contemporary issues related to sustainable development. The book is a collection of articles that explore various aspects of sustainability and climate change, with a specific focus on the time period between 2010 and 2020. These articles help the readers understand the efforts that have been made so far in this decade and measure the impact on the environment in terms of the changes that have eventually occurred.
Throughout the book, Basu provides different perspectives on how India is responding to sustainability and climate change challenges in the context of several environments and sustainability-related national and global policies and frameworks that were released during this time period. The author believes that the sixth mass extinction is inevitable, and this book offers a comprehensive overview of how this decade contributed to the journey through the Holocene. “The Journey through Holocene” highlights the central concerns related to the environment for the readers, who may not be entirely aware of the problems that confront us. As the articles are carefully hand-picked and arranged in a certain manner, readers are likely to have an enjoyable experience and not likely to find the book a mundane arrangement of a book that just talks about the environment and its problems.
Simply put, this is a book for everybody who is concerned about the sustainability of this planet. It offers a critical analysis of the global and national policies that have been put in place to address contemporary issues related to sustainable development and provides readers with a deeper understanding of the impact of human activity on the environment. The book can also help the readers understand the course of action that is likely to be taken based on the earlier ideas of sustainability. The articles are products of pensive minds that have spent years researching and analysing the impact each action of human beings has on the environment. Furthermore, the book delves into the interconnectedness of various environmental challenges, highlighting how issues such as climate change, deforestation, pollution, and resource depletion are all intertwined. It explores the complex web of cause and effect, demonstrating how one action or policy can have far-reaching consequences across multiple aspects of sustainability.
In addition to its analytical approach, the book also offers practical insights and recommendations for individuals, communities, and policymakers. It presents innovative solutions and best practices from around the world that have shown promise in addressing environmental issues effectively. From renewable energy technologies and sustainable agriculture practices to conservation efforts and circular economy models, the book showcases a wide range of approaches that can contribute to a more sustainable future. Moreover, the book emphasizes the importance of collective action and global cooperation in tackling sustainability challenges. It highlights successful international initiatives and agreements that have brought nations together to address shared environmental concerns. By examining both successes and failures in global sustainability efforts, the book encourages readers to think critically about the way forward and to actively participate in shaping a sustainable future.

Ultimately, this book serves as a comprehensive resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the urgent issues surrounding sustainability. It invites readers to engage in thoughtful reflection, inspiring them to become agents of positive change in their own lives and communities.
“The Journey through Holocene” is divided into several chapters, each of which provides a unique perspective on sustainability and climate change. In the first chapter, Basu sets the stage by explaining the concept of the Holocene and how it is related to the contemporary issues of sustainability and climate change. The following chapters explore various aspects of these issues, including the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and human health, the role of corporate social responsibility in sustainability, and the effectiveness of international climate change agreements.
Although the book recounts the efforts of the decade from 2010-2020, it talks of the time through the Holocene, which is from the time the earth began. Throughout the book, Basu draws on his extensive research and experience to provide readers with a critical analysis of the policies and frameworks that have been put in place to address these issues. He highlights the successes and shortcomings of these policies and provides readers with insights into how they can be improved to ensure a more sustainable future for all.
“The time period between 2010 and 2020 was marked by different international forums working as safe guardians of the planet by introducing a series of transformational conventions and treaties. Both at a national and global level, there have been a number of milestone events related to biodiversity, environment, sustainability, and climate change which, according to the author, are going to shape the next couple of decades’ environmental health as well as the survival faith of this planet and all living beings on it. On the one hand, Basu describes the policies and how they were implemented, while on the other, he explains the impact of each on India and its people.
